Florida, unlike other swing states, reports almost all early ballots shortly after voting ends. In public polling, Republican voters have reported far less interest in voting by mail or voting early than Democrats. ADBloomberg’s advisers described the spending plan as “nine figures” and declined to say how much higher than $100 million Bloomberg might be willing to go, if at all. Bloomberg has not yet announced any spending to help elect a Democratic Senate, after allotting $20 million to the effort in 2018.
